elective Service Test
Offered In November
Students eligible for the draft
will be given the opportunity
next month to match their wits
against Uncle Sam's selective service standards on the controversial college qualifying test.
The test, which was first given
in May of last year, will "be administered on Nov. 18 and 19
at more than 1,000 centers across
the country, including the University.

Test scores, which reamin confidential with the local draft
boards, are advisory criteria in
granting student deferments. No
student is required to take it.
State selective service officials Thursday encouraged all
young men eligible to take the

test to do so. To be eligible,
a person must be either a college student or high senior or
graduate who has not taken it
before.
"We are encouraging all eligible students to take it," said
Col. Marshall Sanders of the
state selective service office.
"Even if he does not quite make
the passing score (70 for undergraduates, 80 for graduate students), we believe the local
boards will look in favor of the
young man who at least showed
enough interest to take it."
Application forms and information bulletins for the test are
available at all local draft boards

and must be received at the testing center by Oct. 21, Col. Sanders added.
Some 12,500 students of the
25,000 who were eligible took
the test in Kentucky last year,
with approximately 2,400 taking
it at the University. Through
September, 21,644 students were
eligible to take it this year.
There is no assurance that
the examination will be given
at any time other than the November dates this fall.
This year's test was devised
by Educational Testing Service
in Princeton, N.J., a different
firm from the one which gave
it last year. "So far we haven't
had the preliminary problems we
had comparable to this time last
year," Col. Sanders said. "We
had scheduling problems then
and a overflow of students in
some centers."
The 10 Kentucky test centers
include Union College at Barbers vi lie, Western Kentucky University at Bowling Green, University community colleges at
Covington and Elizabethtown,
the University at Lexington, University of Louisville, Morehead
and Murray State Universities
and Kentucky Wesley an College
in Owensboro.

In other developments on the
draft, the Pentagon announced
it will cut its November quota
by 6,100 to 37,600 men because
of "a great than than expected
number of enlistments and
in recent months."
Kentucky's quota was lowered 14
percent to an estimated 900 men.
The department also announced an unusually low draft call
of 12,100 for December, but it
explained that all inductions during the month would be completed by Dec. 16 "to avoid the
entrance of inductees into active
duty during the holiday season."
The January quota, it added, is
expected to be back up above
30,000.

Bus Users Stranded;
Strike In Fourth Day
The Lexington bus strike entered its fourth day Thursday with
no sign of progress being made toward a settlement.
An estimated 2,000 local school children, and an undetermined
number of university students, are having to find other means of
getting to school. Some 19,000 normally use the buses daily.
Lexington and University Police say that despite the strike
there has not been a marked increase in the amount of traffic
downtown or around the University.
The Lexington Transit Company says it stands ready to negotiate the strike issue but that it will not agree to the union
demand for a
hourly wage increase and other benefits.
The union has put its offer on a "take it or leave it" basis.
According to Hufus Kearns, president of the local, the union
has "no intention of making a move."

RESEARCH AND THE MULTIVERSITY

Universities Put More Emphasis On Research
ByJUDYCRISIIAM

Kernel Associate Editor
In the last decade a virtual revolution

has taken place on the campuses of many
of the nation's leading colleges and universities.

Once standing apart from society, as if
in an ivory tower, these institutions have
been deluged with new pressures and
responsibilities and have, in large measure, seen their role expanded to include
service to society.
By its very nature this service implies
an increasing emphasis on the research
function of the university.
The amount of research carried out on
the campus has proceeded at runaway

From the campus has come the expertise to travel to the moon, to crack the genetic code, and
to develop computers that calculate as fast as light. From the campus has come new information
about Africa's resources,
economics, and Oriental politics. In the past 15 years,
college and university scholars have produced a dozen or more accurate translations of the Bible,
more than were produced in the past 15 centuries. University researchers have helped virtually
to wipe out three of the nation's worst diseases: malaria, tuberculosis, and polio. The chief
work in art and music, outside of a few large cities, is now being done in our colleges and universities. And profound concern for the U.S. racial situation, for U.S. foreign policy, for the
problems of increasing urbanism, and for new religious forms is now being expressed by students
and professors inside the academies of higher learning.

The total government budget for college and university research jumped to

is that it will increase by even larger
proportions in the future. During the same

indicate that UK falls slightly behind
the average, having done only about

Even more important, perhaps, is UK's
relative rank in the amount of research
done at schools with which the University competes. Of the 11 schools the Academic Flan has designated as comparable
to the University, seven are pulling in
more research money. No figures are
